#20: Jog

The Cru had a rough day. A hide-under-the-covers-with-a-dram-of-whisky kind of day. Instead, they got together for fellowship and literature.  Ain't that what it's all about?  From Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy:  I believe it's 'jogging' or 'yogging.' it might be a soft j. I'm not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time! It's supposed to be wild.  From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: Jog. Jog away; jog off; jog on. Get away; be off; keep moving. Shakespeare uses the word shog in the same sense—as, "Will you shog off?" (Henry V., ii. 1); and again in the same play, "Shall we shog?" (ii. 3).  To jog his memory, or Give his memory a jog. To remind one of something apparently forgotten. Jog is to shake or stir up. (Welsh, gogi, to shake; French, choquer; our shock, shake, etc.)Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
